How do you propose we find out how the Board will respond?

Something else we may want to consider.
If the Board holds fast to their distinction between "information
technology" and "information and data," in that the first is covered and
can be identified by a level of interactivity, and the second is not
covered in that it is static data with no interactivity, we don't want
to put any web content in the bucket which they may decide is
uncoverable by 508. I think it is not a good idea to put any web into a
category of non-interactive content, until we have a better idea of how
the Board will respond to this whole content issue.

First
I think the simple Web vs Software Web split is good.
The question I have is, - what do we do when people use tools to create
web pages - and the tools inject software elements into the page. The
author has no idea what is simple HTML and what is software. it is all
just WYSIWYG to them. Yet if the tool has inaccessible software pieces
it uses...... you end up with simple authors writing software web....
Who cannot understand software web rules.
